One of the shrub's #43 men was on a show just this past weekend and he said that iti took weeks/months/yearsw to really understand how 9/11 happened.
He was on the Administration's side that in cases like the Benghazi embassy it takes a lot of information, both good and bad, until the truth comes out.
This is all that the twit has and he even had to drop it because he filed miserably trying to politize the death of four Americans and local troops who were trying to protect them but if the President has the correct information on who planned the attack I am pretty sure that in the next four and a half years of his administation they will be swimming with the fish with bin laden.
